To the editor:

I would like to thank Lauderdale Mayor Dains and the City Council Members for protecting our youth by updating the city’s tobacco ordinance. They showed great concern for the health of our community, particularly our children. The ordinance shows how serious the city is about protecting youth by enacting a strong structure to penalize those who sell tobacco products to minors. It’s a commendable action to prevent youth from beginning a lifelong and deadly addiction.
